JiAngelo Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 How does your roof venting work if the soffit intake is blocked off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 No venting if it's a conditioned attic, typically insulated with closed cell spray foam against the underside of the roof deck. i don't bother Chief-framing those blocks, but do address them with CAD details.

para-CAD Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Our blocking comes with 3 @ 2" holes drilled in them and screened = bird blocks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted Monday at 12:18 PM Share Posted Monday at 12:18 PM I don't think it will build automatically, but using the blocking(roof) tool you can draw the line of blocking in there and edit the entire line of blocking at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted Monday at 04:22 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 04:22 PM It seems odd that this is not automatically framed. Is this something where in certain regions, this block is not required? Even if this is not a structural requirement for shear transfer, it is needed to keep the rafters from rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom bevel rip at top? Custom plain square rip at top? Should square or beveled be box-checked? How to report on Material List? Next widest? What about bay blocking for truss framed roofs, and big tall heels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiAngelo Posted Monday at 05:10 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:10 PM R602.10.8.2 states bracing is required only for rafters greater than 9.25" above the braced wall panel. Also required for trusses greater than 15.25" above the braced wall panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
